What's the source of this question? Do you have evidence it can be done? What tools do you have available? What fruit or ...not so fruit... have your own investigations come up with?

@DavidG.Stork The question you linked to was from close to seven years ago. The standards have evolved since. This is a somewhat persistent source of disagreement in meta. Take a look if you want to weigh in. Do search first. A huge plague on the site nowadays is answerers not checking for duplicates.. Anyway, isolated problem statements (instead of QUESTIONS) have been frowned upon for a number of years already.

I found a name for my attempt: Montucla's Dissection. For 4x25 it gives five pieces.
